Hi people,
I’m getting the traction control warning light coming on under hard and soft acceleration, the car hesitates when the light comes on around 2000 revs, when setting off, it also comes on around 3500 to 4000 revs and the engine doesn’t drive
I can drive the car gently and it’s ok
Sometimes it seems to go into limp mode for a while then runs ok after a few minutes
These arenew symptoms from the car
I’ve had it on obd11 (Clarke) and it comes up with no fault
I’ve changed out the YAW speed control module for a reconditioned one ( 12 months guarantee) which hasn’t made any difference
What’s the thoughts about this
2006 3.0 si 73000 miles
Hasn’t done much mileage over the last 2 years
 
Had the exact same problem, turned out to be my rear wheel speed sensors scuffing the reluctor rings on the drive shafts. I took them out, cleaned everything with brake cleaner and refitted putting a washer on the bolts to draw the sensor a tiny fraction away from the reluctor rings. Fixed the problem for me.
